Today weâre going to talk about cholesterol, and I want to cover the seven foods that lower bad cholesterol.
HDL is considered good cholesterol, and LDL is considered bad cholesterol. But, there are two types of LDL. The real villain when it comes to cholesterol and heart problems is a very specific type of LDL.
To measure this type of LDL, you have to ask for a test called an advanced lipid profile test. With this test, theyâre looking at the number and size of the particles that carry cholesterol.
The two types, or particle sizes, of LDL, are:
1. The large buoyant (pattern A)
2. The small dense (pattern B)
The small dense LDL particles are the ones you have to be concerned about because they can penetrate the arteries, even though the large buoyant type carries more cholesterol. Small dense LDL is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease.
This topic can be confusing because some people have low LDL cholesterol but a high number of small dense particles. Others have high LDL with a high number of large buoyant particles. This is why itâs so important to get an advanced lipid profile test, so you have the whole picture of whatâs going on.
Top foods that lower bad cholesterol (small dense LDL):
1. Extra virgin olive oil
2. Avocados
3. Fish oils or cod liver oil
4. Pistachios
5. Dark chocolate (sugar-free)
6. Almonds
7. Walnuts
Other things you can do to lower cholesterol naturally:
âą Take vitamin B3 (niacin)
âą Exercise
âą Take TUDCA

Thank you Dr. Eric Berg I cut out bad carbs from my diet years ago like bread, pasta and refined sugar. I eat all of those foods which lower cholesterol I can testify this type of diet works my cholesterol and cholesterol ratios are great. Watching your video just justifying I am doing the right thing. Beyond that you gave me info what I never heard before! Your video is simple easy to understand and very informative.
Thanks again Dr. B!!!
This is something a girlfriend (She is a Doctor) told me about decades ago and every one I shared it with thought she was nuts because the mainstream medical establishment definitely wasnât saying it.
I love how you share these amazing truths about our health. â€
i worked at an egg ranch around the time they came down on eggs. thats when i learned good and bad cholesterol. đČ
@@tracy2762 The 700 Club once reported on the perfect egg and its beneficial properties.
same here when i tell people what i learnt here they n rubbing me n laughing about it
I learned more in this video what good vs bad cholesterol means and how they are different than from what I learned from my own physician over the years.
Salamat po.
Thank you, Dr Berg! So grateful for your research and knowledge! I have high LDL and low HDL and very concerned.
I will be following all protocols listed and crunch the workouts! Fortunately I love the foods listed! Many thanks!!
any updates?
Uh you still with us?
Thank you doc. My primary doctor never goes into detail on all the dynamics cholesterol issues.
Nice presentation. This is exactly what I have researched recently about LDL. Thank you for the list!
Thanks Dr Eric, my friend was facing issue of high BP for couple of year and despite trying many thing (no medication) we were unable to keep it under the limit. We went for a LDL check and found high LDL, from the very next day we started consuming your suggested food. Within 3 day we see a very unexpected result. Now despite not maintaining other precautions BP is still under control. This does not mean we will not take precautions.
Thank You for the great information doc .
Could you do a specific video on the type of blood tests we should get? Such as LDLP, LDL-C, CAC score, etc. Thanks!
You and Dr Ekberg are the modern day super heroes of the internet! Saving one type 2 diabetes patient at a time
Ekberg is too much focused on Keto and not enough on B12 defiencies which T2D need
Berg kept me from shot, however, I wasn't going to take it..since mom had a flu shot, and was sick for 2 weeks
I'll just do with diet,extra zinc, and vitamin D3
Weighing more on Ekberg
My cardiologist has been in practice for 50 years- I recently asked him to test for my low density LDL, he just shook his head and said "yes, we're looking at your LDL", referring to my total LDL. These doctors are so intractable. Smh
Main stream doctors are really dumb
Once again another magnificent video I always look out for them so I can share as I know your videos are truly appreciated by everyone who is lucky enough to view them
Again many thanks.
Thank you Dr.Eric for sharing!
You're very welcome!
Super fit, my ldl was 150 and total chloestrol was 205. Doctor immediately wanted to put me on meds. No other issues
Interesting. My doctor said she wouldn't do statins unless my ldl reaches 200. Mine is 120 at the moment, out of shape and overweight. Go figure.
Thank you, Dr Eric. I love the extensive study and research you do on this and other health issues. The Lord bless and keep you!
I watched to the end; id still love to hear more from you about differences in the genetic ldl scenario!
I needed this I went to my doctor office yesterday and they told me I have high cholesterol
What might be helpful is to have a list of the foods that cause the bad LDL.
Thanks Dr Berg and god bless you all!
Every time I have a rough day, come back and rewatch this and laugh into tears. Thank you for this video!
Wow, You must have some rough days
Thank you Dr Berg for the amount of time to research and study this medical space, it was good knowing about what I can do to minimise the fat or oil when you have a genetic problem with cholesterol in which I happen to be. The advance lipid profile test you recommend is noted. I have been diagnosed with a high calcium score last year and had two stents last December but prior to that, it was all asymptomatic. I have now been taking your K2 and D3 product to help direct the calcium from arteries to the bones. Since Iâm an active person engaged in cycling, I have been talking your electrolyte powder and I can feel the benefits due to that good balance of the potassium and magnesium you there. Love your work Dr Berg. God bless you and best wishes from Down under đŠđș
Cholesterol explained with integrity. Thank You Dr. Berg have a great day!
Iâve been watching your videos for a couple of years now. Thank you for simplifying what can be complicated science. Always informative and interesting.
Thanks. Glad you find the videos here informative. Thanks for your support.
Excellent explanation of the latest science and research on cholesterol. Thank you. Loved the explanation of glycation and would love a more thorough explanation of it in a future video please.

Many videos talking about HDL and LDL have left me confused. Your video today kept it short, simple and clear. THANK YOU. My LDL needs to be more fluffy lol
Thank you so much for very helpful sharing.
You're welcome. Hope you leaned new things here.
My understanding of LDL is from the liver's inability to metabolize sugar completely into blood, leaving nano particles to get trapped and cling together (jagged edges) in narrow capillaries of the brain, kidneys, liver and acute angles of the vascular system, including pockets around heart valves. Sugar is a crystal after all.
thanks Dr. this video explains my situation totally. this is very helpful for me.
Thank you doctor Eric I watching your videos sometimes and you became part of my list of doctor help me with knowledge how I cam take care my body thank you again God bless you

Awesome info video I been following your videos since January thanks to you I live a healthy lifestyle
Hi Dr Berg. I've been following your channel for some time and you've really helped me improve my diet and lifestyle. One idea for a video I had was to get your opinion on cheaper foods especially with the current cost of living crisis many are facing. For example those that can't afford to buy organic meat, what's the best type of meat to go for? I've heard in UK that non organic lamb is better than chicken due to it mostly being grass fed. It would be interesting to hear your take. Thanks again.
You mean organic lamb since it's grass fed that makes it organic
You said non organic
Recently found a local farm close by that sells prepared meats and raw milk (hard to find in the US) and was wondering if that type of source may meet your needs
@thebankerlounge I would go for the pasture raised lamb. Itâs more nutrient dense than poultry and much better being pasture raised grass fed. The non organic part could be the drenches for parasites but itâs not a big deal imo. In Aus if I buy lamb I buy Tasmanian grassfed lamb not mucked around with. Mostly I buy grass fed beef, sometimes â organic â beef. I avoid poultry in my keto diet. That lamb would be great. Get eggs though, get organic eggs.
I was reading a research paper today that contained an equation for calculating the sdLDL from the usual HDL LDL and triglyceride values in the regular cholesterol test. The equation was derived from a lot of research and correlation. Handily the website provides an Excel spreadsheet to use. It was difficult to find the recommended levels for sdLDL but an older male like me might have a max of 45mg/dL but more typical max would be 32 I would say. Mine is 57, hence my interest! In the UK the advanced test is not regularly done. I think cost is a factor and also there is more than one method, and itâs not performed widely. I also find that doctors are not up to date with sdLDL and will only ever ask for the regular LDL and HDL test plus TG.
can you link please?
I have a question for Dr. Berg , I am from the Middle East and we drink hot tea with breakfast and now theyâre telling me that black tea is not good with food itâs like you donât benefit from the food if you drink hot black tea is that true Dr Berg ?? I usually add fresh mint to my tea .
@@asmawier3949 I have read that if you drink any type of fluid with your meal it interferes ( waters down) your stomach PH so you donât absorb the maximum nutrients that you can without a beverage. Itâs a hard habit for me to break, but I know that I donât have the best absorption as it is based on a Great Plains Oats test that I took there was some low protein absorption . Years later I went to a nutritionist that my endocrinologist sent me to and she recommended extra protein in the form of organic pea protein. She was able to determine poor protein absorption based on my symptoms and autoimmune disease. Ie., lots of fatigue. So if thereâs some symptoms that need improvement Iâm willing to change my habits when I eat for nutritional health and healing.
I hope your in good health .
Thanks Dr Berg! Just wanted to ask this question for the Friday live show.. haha and you answered it today, very informative!
Great video, thanks Dr B.
I just rewatched your clip that was made 3 years ago about good and bad LDL and made some comment there. I am still surprised that 3 years had passed but this issue still remains. I myself also have some difficulty trying to find details such as the good proportion of HDL to good LDL to bad LDL to VLDL that's related to triglycerides. The related information that should have been updated and published in several medical gazettes by now. Whatta heck?
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify
Thanks Doc đ
Thanks. Hope the video is very easy for you to understand.

Thank you so much for your video I love it. God bless you.
I really love your content and I'm watching literally every video đ„° but I would recommend a microphone, the sound is too quiet.
I lowered my cholesterol levels with Intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet. Currently my cholesterol levels are :
Total cholesterol = 136
Tryglyceride = 73
HDL = 55
LDL = 66
I followed Dr. Eric Berg's instructions, and after 3 months of Intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet I managed my cholesterol and sugar levels.
Your comment really inspired me. My LDL is high , my doctor prescribed me meds for that but I'm not willing to take it. I will try to lower it with diet and exercise first. Thank you for your comment â€ïž
What foods did you eat and how often? How often did you eat eggs?
@@rebeccacowan4769 I've been following intermittent fasting, gradually shifting from two meals a day to just one. As for my food choices, I typically include chicken, chickpeas, vegetables, and keto-friendly options in my diet. Eggs are a staple for me, and I usually have about 4 eggs per day.
My cholestrol is high 268, after in keto 9 month (lost 9 kg i am 45 kg now with flat tummyđ»), now i follow this advice:
i buy B3 niacin & nuts: pistachio, walnut, almond & drink more almond milk, eat sarden with eXtra virgin olive oil, eat avocado with dark choco & beet every week, regularly eat more fermented food, eXercise 20-45 minute almost every morning with sunbath, i hope after 3 month it could lower my cholestrol!
Nix the almond milk.
Nix the keto
Now what is your cholesterol . Any changes in reading ??

Hello are you there ???
Dark Chocolate is definitely an acquired taste, but I usually eat it in the mornings ( caffeine ) and this would also benefit the Liver which loves the *bitter* flavor. Also switched to black coffee, sans sucre for the same reason.
@Suzi â„
This is very good, Dr. Berg. Many years ago I had high cholesterol and my doctor ordered an advanced lipid profile and saw that 95% was the fluffy light LDL. My cholesterol is normal now, never took statins or anything, and today in the NYT they had an article about Statins that talked about how in many people, STATINS CAUSED DIABETES. They did not go as far to say it was because of the small dense LDL. I am getting close to full carnivore here, though I do still eat a few squares of 78% dark chocolate with some almond butter almost daily. It's not sugar free, but at least sugar is NOT the first ingredient. I know sugar is deadly. My functional medicine doc has harped on me for years: You gotta give up sugar. You gotta give up gluten. You gotta give up dairy. I still put a splash of heavy cream in my coffee, but I'm not drinking the cream to fill myself up anymore. There's only one kind of bread that I occasionally eat, which is a focaccia that is produced locally. I have ordered some packages of Carnivore Crisps to take the place of that bread, which I like to broil under a mountain of fresh grated parmesan, for crunch and umami. Methinks the chicken skin Carnivore Crisps will fit the bill.
Well saidâŠsugar is bad, seed oils are really really bad! Facts about statinsâŠ! I do the same thing with dark chocolateâŠ
If you have any sort of chronic pain or inflammation giving up gluten can get rid of most of it. Doing so kept me off of getting TNF infusions. As for dairy I know a local Cardiologist who says, "nothing good comes from a cow". He is from a 3rd generation cattle family, his wife is 4th generation dairy farmers. Dairy can be highly inflammatory for some people.
@@renel7303 Well, steak comes from a cow, and I do eat a lot of meat.

In April 2020 I started intermittent fasting and within 3 months completely reversed my diebatics. I do intermittent fasting almost everyday ..... Last October at middle of the night I got awake and that thing became regular. I found my heart rate was increasing without any reason. Finally I checked my blood and found my cholesterol above 300 and LDL 200. I started taking medication. I have great benefit from intermittent fasting and do not want to discontinue it. I hope I may be able to stop taking Statins....
Iâm confused my your comments. You said you started fasting but get rapid heart rates when you sleep. Are you fasting the right way and eating healthy foods and fats
@@jrod2422ify sorry if have made you confused. I do not believe fasting has anything to do will my high cholesterol levels . I may have had that for a long time . I think due to high cholesterol my heart rate increased .... I explained my symptoms to dr. Gerg... Sorry

There is a direct relationship between triglycerides and the types of LDL particles. There is a published graph that shows that having low triglycerides gives high fluffy ldl and low small ldl. Using this graph and my triglycerides of 48 mg/dl, my large fluffy ldl was over 99%.
Great đ info thank you
Thanks for this info. I have normal overall cholesterol but slightly elevated LDL despite eating well (hereditary) but have very low triglycerides. My HDL level is âgreenâ although could be higher.
Very very good informative video. I have always said Keto is not bad but consciously eating huge amounts of fat just because you are on Keto is not healthy. The key is about eating healthily and only eating what your body needs. Thanks for the great video
Keto is about eating what your body needs. Huge amounts of anything is unhealthy, including water.
@@porkpie2884 not as unhealthy as eating large amounts of saturated fat
Your triglyceride levels are a good guide on whether you have oxidative/small dense LDL.
God bless you for all these teachings, I have learned and unlearned a lot, thank you Doctor Berg.
I have genetic heart diseaseâŠmy endocrinologist has me on Repatha which I donât want to take. He only ever talks about drug trials, Nobel prize winners and how I will die if I donât take this drug. I never understand a thing he says to me in our visits. Thank you so much for this valuable information!! My gut says get of the drug that can cause diabetes and stick with eating foods and your other options. I am otherwise healthy, exercise and at a good weight. Iâve been struggling the last couple months with the decision to quit this drug. Iâm convinced it is the best choice. Thank you! Thank you!

My doc's office is struggling to understand why my LDL is so high yet my triglycerides are in well within normal range. they recommend "less fat, more fiber". I told them they should test for small dense and large buoyant LDLs and still just got a response back of, "start on a low fat, high fiber diet". that IS my diet, has been for years lol.
I'm in the same boat.
Stop paying your doctors
Thank you Dr. Berg!
This video had really good information that I haven't find anywhere else although I searched so many sources...
No problem. Gad you like the information here.
Great video as usual. Useful âïžâïžâïž
Other useful foods to help lower LDL include: Amla powder (Indian gooseberries) and Brazil nuts - Cheers!
Dr is right about a lot of things, and one of those is bile ducts sludge, even one is fat adapted, TUDCA is really helpful.
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it.

Thanks Dr. Berg my brother just had a heart attack he has genetic high cholesterol and never treated it. I am going to forward this information to him I hope he listens.
Thank you for the information
Keep in mind that many hormones are made from cholesterol! So, A) it's not intrinsically bad and B) I've seen many cases of high cholesterol come down when we balance the person's hormones! đ
Dr., Thank you for that information.
Could you share HOW to balance the hormones? I have Graves/hyperthyroidism.
If you're worried about LDL, you probably want to look up the videos by Doctor David Diamond, a cardiologist. It's mostly bunk unless you have a specific genotype. If anything, you might want to look at Lipoprotein (a), HDL, and LDL-P (as Dr Berg indicated.) What most keto dieters see is their HDL rising, which is good, and triglycerides falling, which is also good.
LDL can vary in either direction for people on keto. I was a couple weeks fasted when I got my panel once, and my LDL was over 200, which concerned my (non-keto-friendly) doctor. I had watch some Dave Feldman videos (Cholesterol Code guy) to find out why. I implemented the Feldman Protocol next time, and my doctor was happy. Then I told him how I crammed for his test and fired him. I now have a respected keto doctor.
Dr. Diamond is a wonderful resource. So is Dr. Ben Bikman.
Whoa! That's great.
How do you guys keep up
@@emmanuelakojiicha5897 There's a channel called Low Carb Down Under that has lots of good videos from low carb conferences. There's also a podcast called Low Carb MD that has interviews of just about everyone who is someone in the low carb community.
Thanks Dr. Berg I really enjoy listening to you and what I like most about you that you donât talk for an hour before you go to the point like other doctors do I appreciate you keep up the good workđ
Excellent - clearly articulated video
My LDL has consistently been about 130 to 135 for 45 years. My HDL hovers around 45 and most recently was 53. Total cholesterol has never exceeded 186. I'm still here.
How is your triglycerides?
@@angelasummers5750 155. Fish oil and alcohol abstention always bring those down.
My LDL is 329.3 , Triglycerides is 261.8
Thanks very much for the clarification, Dr. Berg. This topic is so complex and I have been struggling with trying to figure out what to do with regard to high cholesterol (inherited) and diabetes. I still crave sweet things, so hard to control. I don't know where to find someone to help with diet vs medications.
The cure for sweet cravings is to go on a keto diet.
Watch his videos on keto diet.
Withing two weeks your cravings will disappear.. as you progress you begin to feel better n healthier.
Please kindly use a keto diet. You will be so grateful you did.
Don't waste time on it. It cutes hunger pangs n sugar cravings of good.
100% monkfruit, not the lankanto crap that has alcohol sugars in it that the body does not know what to do with is hundreds of times sweeter than actual sugar, does not raise your blood sugar levels and is low carb and low calorie
I just turned 40 and I found out my cholesterol is dangerously high. I have never had this problem in my entire life. I am so scared. Can someone tell me, is this doctor creditable? I'm not sure if my doctor even is. Looking for recommendations and things to change in my diet. Someone please tell me if what he says is true. That way I can take notes. I have no clue what any of this is. What do I need to quit? My soda? Sugar? What.
Hi, I am just a person with no medical background. My high cholesterol is inherited, but if you have recently been found to have high cholesterol, I would probably ask for a lipid panel blood test with a doctor and let them advise you. I know that general practitioners have a different approach so I wouldn't know what to tell you there. Doctors always say eat a low fat diet and exercise regularly. Hope this helps.

Fascinating !
Thank you .I do take bile salts now because of you . With some ox bile too
Thank you so much. Amazing info.
What other very important blood tests should I be asking for from my doctor? My yearly check up is approaching. â€ïžđ€đ
For several years I saw a functional medicine internist who was also a board certified cardiologist. As I was post-menopausal, my Cholesterol kept creeping up and up. She kept saying, "It's only a number." and assured me that I had "big, fluffy particles" so I was OK. Still, given that I was now over 60 and knew that I had elevated LP(a) and a family history of stroke, I requested a Calcium Artery scan and a carotid ultrasound and both pointed to mild arteriosclerosis. In response, I went predominately whole food plant based and my numbers came down significantly, but not enough, given my genetically based high (LP(a) . I found a lifestyle, plant centered cardiologist and now feel I'm in better hands. "It's only a number" and "big fluffy particles" didn't wash away what was going on in my arteries.
Hey Linda, great post. Iâm following plant based, high carb as well
@@Jaredkprimalhealth Thanks. We're in the minority here, that's for sure.
@@sectionalsofa Were you following Keto when your cholesterol was high?
@@Jaredkprimalhealth I followed keto and my overall cholesterol was very high 356 . Now I do a clean eating, organic meat vegetable , sometimes a good pasta, my cholesterol still high 291, my triglycerides are 56. I exercise 5 times a week
@@derbywinner6316 So your cholesterol went down after stopping keto right?
Good morning Dr. Thanks for all the content
. I've been taking high doses of Vitamin D and my lungs feel amazing
can you share what VITAMIN D you are taking ? thanks
What brand do you use ?
D3. . Started with 10000 IU a day and slowly worked up
@@truepatriots3860
the SOLAR brand lol
Just something from the local supermarket. Probably synthetic but it's working for me
Do you have a video on how to cleanse your arteries, and if not, could you please make one? Thank you
thank you Dr. I recently took a LDL-P and my results were 1400 which was borderline high should I be concerned? I'm in overall good health and exercise regularly and watch what I eat. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated
Can you talk more about statin inceeasing sdLDL particles? Or link to legitimate studies that talk about it?
I am genetically disposed to high ldl and this video is extremely fascinating to me because of that. Could you talk about the intricacies of "bad" LDL accumulation in otherwise healthy-lifestyle individuals? Id really like to know if there are differences in what to expect if im already in near-perfect lifestyle routines and, any info about what my future entails relative to those that have high sdLDL particles AND a belaf lifestyle? I track my food, work out, have "prime" bmi (i know bmi isnt a good indicator, but its just for your reference), and doctors are just floored at my LDL levels. They are astronomically high and I really wanna learn more about my condition, but this area is filled with noise on the internet
I watched to the end; id still love to hear more from you about differences in the genetic ldl scenario!
What does your diet generally consist of?
@IDeserveBeady did you find your help?
I lost 150lbs on Healthy Keto - from 321lbs to 170lbs. My lipid profile now is: Total Cholesterol = 169
Triglycerides = 42
HDL = 64
VLDL = 9
LDL = 96
My lipid profile before Keto was way out of normal.
you've done so well, it's hard to imagine.
can you tell more about your healthy keto diet? thx
@@tellshami maybe finally he had a decent bowel movement, 75LB'r in the toilet.. Yes, I'm interested to know as well.
Thank you Dr Eric
You're most welcome
Dr Berg, there are new Studies that show apoB is a way better indicator of vascular disease risk than LDL. I think you should do a video on that!
6:09 The other interesting about this lol you said that so many times
Dr.Berg, with respect to dark chocolate (and as you suggest with low sugar content of course), is there a way to know how much would be a reasonable daily intake to benefit my LDL in a meaningful way ?
Incorporate 1 and a half cups of oats everyday into your meals (say 1cup for breakfast and 1/2cup for desert) use Skim Milk and cut out salt/sugar and deep fried foods from your diet. Ditch the soft drinks and juices, only drink water and coffee and tea and lower your intake of full fat dairy. Eat lean meats, veggies and wholegrain foods.
Let us know in 7 months how you did đ
I just had my annual checkup/blood test to prep for my upcoming Dr. Eric Berg Keto/Int. fasting results video and my bloodwork came back with flying colors..............except my LDL was 170. My HDL was 62 and VLDL was 14. Triglycerides 80. I'm not worried about my LDL after watching your videos and seeing my other blood test results. BTW I"m down to 156 lbs from 197.
Thank you Dr. Berg.
Thanks Dr Berg. Can you help to explain if there is a connection between hypothyroidism and LDL? I take levothyroxine for years and will have to continue . I eat healthy and exercise regularly ( 49, 5â5 and 120lbs) I just canât get my LDL down. The latest blood test it went up to 130 from 124 last June. I googled and some articles said hypothyroidism will impact LDL. Thanks . đ
I also have hypothyroidism and high LDL. Hypothyroidism caused me to gain weight and develop insulin resistance, which can lead to high cholesterol levels.
@@Bookwasbettersame here. Keeps getting higher and higher.
Dr Berg,
Iâm recently diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolaemia. Are those things you summarized also effective for people like me with a genetic disorder? Or do we have to take statines?
Thank you very much!!
Hope this video helps!

Dr. Berg's Support Team.
If I were you, I'd consult a cardiologist in person in real life, preferably one who's lifestyle oriented. If interested, google cardiologists, Dr. Kim Williams and Dr. Joel Kahn for an overview. But they're plant based, so if you're looking for advice on Dr. Berg's site, you may not like their recommendations.
How high is your cholesterol âŠabove 350 ng/dl you might want to take a small amount of medication to bring it below 300⊠make sure your diet is not high carbs and your triglycerides are below 100 ..
Thank you Dr. Berg. We have learned a lot and also so much beneficials from your program. Again, thank you.
Thank you so much doctor mentioned the this God bless you đđčđ§Ą
Bad cholesterol may one day be considered an oxymoron
it already is,,, people just haven't caught up yet
Like an ethical politician đ
@@forester057 Well not the Trumptard maga teabagger terrorists đ©đ€Ąđș
What does oxymoron mean??? Iâm a little slow đ
Oxymoron....like "Vegan Superfood"....
Dr Berg - this is a great list. I have to add a comment here that for years I ate these and my cholesterol levels did not go down. I was not gaining too much weight overall. I was skinny fat.
However, I had toxins in my systems. Once I started using clays to cleanse everyday, the protruding gut disappeared in 3 weeks! I guess the clays bound to the fats in the gut and cleaned them out repeatedly over the 21 days. I look slimmer now. So, perhaps this is something others can try. Oh, I did tests at the end of last month and all my cholesterol levels were in the normal range.
I am about to hit 2 month mark on clays. I intend to go on using them daily for another month, then cut down to 2-3 times a week for maintenance.
Interesting where do you get your clays from? Thank you!
@@Daisy-xl4xu I live in Botswana, so I get them at the local pharmacies. Most come from South Africa.
Fascinating, perhaps a possible mineral deficiency as well?
what are clays and what brands have them?
Wow - never heard of an internal clay clense
Thank you Dr Berg. I love your videos
